Embodiment
At first arrive 1D with reference to Figure 1A, block diagram shows system 100, and it is a part that is used for according to the present invention a plurality of media object 118 of sequence being realized the authoring tool of one or more features 114.System 100 can be software program, application program and will install or be implemented in such as the set of computer-executable instructions in the computing equipments such as computing machine 130 of Fig. 7.System 100 can be by to coming the editing media object and/or media object is created interesting result to one or more media object application characteristics such as 118-M such as 118-1.In one embodiment, media object 118 can be video clipping, image, slide demonstration, visual pattern works, audio production, vision/audio representation or the like.Media object 118 also can be the set, electronic document or the like of file of electronics compiling, vision and/or the audio production of file, file.Feature 114 can use between media object 118, to create transition from a media object to the transition of next continuous media object, it is the title that will be placed on before or after the media object 118, it is the effect that is applied to media object 118, be blank or the color/graphics between the media object 118, or can revise the further feature 114 of the works of media object 118.As example but not limitation, can be applicable between two continuous media object (for example, wiping, be fade-in fade-out or other transition) such as features such as title or transition.In another example of feature, effect can be applicable to single medium object (for example, revising black and white, sepia, color balance or the like).In another example of feature, can the section start of media object sequence place title with introduce them, such as credit at film in like that the end of media object sequence place title or such as spolen title at film in above one or more media object, place title like that.
At first, have at least one the variable aspect that influences this feature or the parameter of attribute such as 114-1,114-2 to one or more features such as 114-N.These features are available for other user of consumer or system 100.The demonstration of variable aspect or property control feature.By changing the parameter of feature, changed the aspect or the attribute of this feature.For example, at least comprise variable aspect or attribute such as features such as wiping transition, such as the direction aspect of wiping (for example, from left to right, from right to left or the like), the vpg connection of wiping (for example, smooth edges shape, jagged edge shape or the like), the speed aspect of wiping (for example, wiping fast, wiping or the like at a slow speed).In another example, comprise variable aspect or attribute, as the color aspect (for example, red title, blue title or the like) of title, the font aspect (for example, font size, font type, font color or the like) of title such as features such as titles.In other example, comprise variable aspect or attribute such as features such as hue shift effects, the color that should be displaced to such as tone and it should be towards degree of this color displacement etc.The part that feature 114 can be used as system 100 is included.In another embodiment, the third party provides feature 114 and it is designed to combine with system 100.Equally, the sequence 112 of media object 118 can offer system 100 with the form by the file that provides such as input equipments such as digital camera or digital portable video cameras.
In Figure 1A, system 100 comprises and is used to specify the features component 102 of feature that has the parameter of at least one variable aspect of influence such as 114-1 etc.In Figure 1B, the consumer uses indicator assemblies 104 to come one of identification characteristics, and for example 114-2 is with respect to the position of the media object in the sequence 112 118.This can finish by for example using mouse drag and drop feature 114-2.To between media object 118-1 and media object 118-2, place position in indicator assemblies 104 identifiers 112 such as feature 114-2 such as transition or titles.Under the situation such as features such as transition or titles, the user uses indicator assemblies 104 to identify by this media object or such as the position of wanting application characteristic between media object 118-1,118-2 and the 118-3.Under the situation of effect, the consumer uses indicator assemblies 104 to come to be used to specify in the identification medium object position of feature.
The consumer can continue to use indicator assemblies 104 to come to be used to specify in the identifier 112 other position of feature 114.For example, in Fig. 1 C, the consumer uses indicator assemblies 104 to come to be used between the media object 118-1 and 118-2 in the identifier 112 position of feature 114-1.The consumer also can use indicator assemblies 104 to specify another example of the feature 114-1 in the position between media object 118-3 and the 118-4.
System 100 also comprises sequence generator assembly 106 or is used for by changing its parameter to change the modification assembly that at least one aspect A revises feature 114 that this aspect is illustrated by feature 114-1 among Fig. 1 D or the frame in the 114-2.For example, feature 114-2 can be the wiping transition that has such as waiting direction aspect from left to right, from right to left, from top to bottom, from top to bottom.Feature 114-1 can be the title feature that has such as color aspect such as blue, red, green, yellow.Sequence generator 106 is revised the sequence data of the further feature 114 that is used for feature 114-1 and 114-2 and/or exists in sequence 112.Sequence generator 106 is by revising feature 114-1 and 114-2 according to the parameter of the position change feature 114-1 of feature in sequence 112.Particularly, aspect A can revise (going through at Fig. 5 A) with respect to the position of the media object in the sequence 112 or with respect to the position of the further feature in the sequence 112 according to feature in 5D.
Can conceive, the consumer need not to see the modification of being carried out on showing by sequence generator 106 when feature is positioned in the sequence.In other words, system 100 is configured or is designed to operation, so that consumer's specific characteristic and identify the position of specific characteristic, and system 100 carries out the feature that has aspect the variation when display sequence 112.
System 100 also comprises and is used for when display media object sequentially at the place, home position presenting assembly 108 according to what its running parameter was come expression characteristics.Each special characteristic type has its oneself feature and presents assembly, is illustrated as 108-1 and 108-2 in Fig. 1 D.Feature presents assembly 108-1 and comes expression characteristics 114-1 according to the aspect A of the feature that is provided with by sequence generator 106.For example, sequence generator 106 revise feature 114-1 aspect A be in the same characteristic features sequence the 3rd but not after second now to indicate it, present assembly 118-1 can in the position of sign, present from right to left wiping but not from top to bottom wiping.
In one embodiment, system 100 feature of display update in real time.For example, after the consumer had specified feature and identified the position of this feature in timeline, sequence generator 106 was directly revised the each side of specific characteristic, and presented on the position that assembly 118 identified in sequence and present this feature.This modification and being presented on when the streaming media object is used to show takes place in real time.In another embodiment, system 100 before it has finished all features that present A aspect its that is changed by sequence generator 106, the not playback of start time line.For example, the consumer can specify such as complex characteristic such as 3-D transition and be inserted in the position of timeline sequence.Because the 3-D transition may require extra processing, therefore presenting assembly can just begin expression characteristics when sequence generator 106 has upgraded its aspect information, but do not allow it finish present this complexity 3-D transition before the playback of start time line.In another embodiment, the agency with complex characteristic in the playback of timeline substitutes (such as the still image that still is presented to this feature of user interpretation), up to presenting presenting of all features that assembly exists on having finished timeline.
With reference now to Fig. 2,, a block diagram shows the one or more media object that have one or more modification features on the timeline.Timeline 202 according to station location marker the feature of media object and modification, such as 1 to 15.Sequence 204 is examples that the display sequence of the feature of modification and media object is shown.Sequence 204 comprises the feature of one or more modifications, and wherein the TI index is inscribed feature (for example, TI1 index topic 1), and E refers to effect characteristic (for example, E2 refers to effect 2), and T refers to Interim (for example, T3 refers to transition 3).Sequence 204 also comprises one or more media object, and wherein VC refers to video clipping (for example, VC4 refers to video clipping 4).The showing timeline in conjunction with 206 and be broken down into it and constitute element of feature of revising and media object.
As discussed previously, the consumer can continue to edit feature and/or the media object of revising in the sequence 204.For example, the consumer can select to be designed to generate automatically wiping pattern (from left to right, from right to left, from top to bottom's) wiping transition (T).When the user is placed on this wiping transition on the timeline, the aspect of each example of this wiping transition that exists on the sequence generator 106 modification time lines, and the aspect of all other transition that exist on the timeline, to indicate their new relative positions on timeline.Then, presenting aspect data that assembly 108 uses this modification comes according to each example generation suitable wiping transition of pattern (from left to right, from right to left and from top to bottom) for the wiping transition.Herein, as shown in the sequence 204, T1 is from left to right wiping, and T2 is wiping from right to left, and T3 is wiping from top to bottom, and T4 is from left to right wiping, and T5 is wiping from right to left, and T6 is wiping from top to bottom, and T7 is from left to right wiping.Afterwards, the consumer can remove VC4 and T5 (respectively on position 9 and 10) from sequence 204.In some existing authoring tool, consumer wants is revised wiping transition T6 and T7 to keep identical wiping transition mode, (that is, from left to right, from right to left and from top to bottom).On the other hand, according to an advantage of the present invention, transition T6 and T7 dynamically revise in system 100 after having removed Vc4 and T5, so that the consumer need not to revise T6 and T7.In other words, system 100 according to feature with respect to revising feature such as the media object in the sequences such as sequence 204 and/or the position of further feature.
System 100 is how as follows according to another example that feature is revised feature with respect to the position of the further feature in the sequence.Suppose that the consumer has specified automatic title feature (T1), its generate look similar book cover title, look the title of similar books back cover and the chapter title of the one or more automatic labels between cover title and the back cover title.Thus, in sequence 204, TI1 is with the display cover title, and T2 will show " the 1st chapter " title, and T3 will show the back cover title.In some existing multimedia software, three different title patterns of consumer wants use are realized this effect on the timeline, if and the consumer (for example wishes on timeline after the position 3, between VC1 and T2) insert another chapter title and keep identical header mode simultaneously, then consumer wants inserts new " the 1st a chapter " title after position 3, and TI2 need be modified as " the 2nd chapter ".According to another advantage of the present invention, system 100 is in response to the new title feature modification TI2 that inserts in 3 places in the position, because system 100 is included in one or more parameter values in the feature, revises feature according to feature with respect to the position of the further feature in the sequence by use.
As example but not limitation, one or more values of following parameter classification can be stored in the data structure of feature (more going through in Fig. 4):
Family's local sequence number, it indicates the position of this feature in the uninterrupted characteristic sequence with identical family number and various types of model;
Global sequence of family number, it indicates the position of this feature in all features with identical family number and various types of model;
Individual local sequence number, it indicates the position of this feature in the uninterrupted characteristic sequence with identical family number and same item model;
Individual global sequence number, it indicates the position of this feature in all features with identical family number and same item model;
The local tale of family, its indication have the highest family local sequence number in the uninterrupted characteristic sequence of identical family number and various types of model;
Family overall situation tale, its indication have the global sequence of the highest family number in all features of identical family number and various types of model;
Individual local tale, its indication have the highest individual local sequence number in the uninterrupted characteristic sequence of identical family number and same item model;
Individual overall tale, its indication have the highest individual global sequence number in all features of identical family number and same item model.
Can conceive, each feature is only used a few in these eight parameters, and in some cases, system 100 may not carry out all eight parameters listed above, and any interpolation of this parameter list is not broken away from spirit of the present invention.
Fig. 3 A shows the have similar characteristics figure of feature of associated parameter of (for example, transition (T), effect (E) and title (TI)) to 3C.Particularly, Fig. 3 A shows according to the method that links these features such as the Interim T1 among Fig. 2 to the various parameter values in each Interim of T7.For example, overall chained list 302 links them according to the global sequence of T1 in each comfortable timeline of T7 numbers 304.That is, global sequence number is the number of each feature in sequence, and regardless of its family or type.On the other hand, family's chained list 306 is according to family's chain feature tabulation of each feature.For example, family's chained list 306 comprises the independent tabulation of each transition family: family 1 and family 2.Thus, family's 1 chain of lists is received T3, T4 and T6.Similarly, 2 tabulation link T1, T2, T5 and the T7 of family.In addition, according to family's chained list 306, each feature has family's local sequence number 308 and global sequence of family numbers 310.
Individual type chained list 312 comes chain feature according to the individual style number of feature in specific family.For example, individual type chained list 312 has the individual Class1 tabulation that comprises such as features such as T3, T4 and T6, because they are the Class1 in the family 1.Similarly, individual type 2 tabulations comprise type 2 features such as families such as T2 and T5 2, and 3 tabulations of individual type comprise type 3 features such as families such as T1 and T7 3.Individual type local sequence number 314 and individual type global sequence numbers 316 have indicated the sequence of feature T1 to T7 according to individual type chained list 312.
In one embodiment, recomputated in go up to change feature (for example, effect, transition or title) time at timeline (for example, the timeline among Fig. 2 202) at the chained list described in Fig. 3 A more than.For example, if the consumer comes feature among editor Fig. 2 by removing T3 and VC3+E3, then system 100 can recomputate by these all individual type chained lists to the change influence of timeline.Sequence generator 106 recomputates parameter in response to any change to each feature on the timeline.It also creates the tabulation of all features that its parameter (for example, individual local sequence number and individual global sequence number) changes in recomputating process.Next, system recomputates all family's chained lists that the change that is subjected to this timeline influences, and adds the tabulation of all features that its parameter (for example, family's local sequence number and global sequence of family number) changes to.Before presenting assembly 108 indicating characteristics and media object, sequence generator 106 recomputates parameter for each affected feature.As discussed previously, the feature of some non-complex can be handled in real time, and some complex features may require to present in advance or precomputation.Thus, present assembly 108 can sequence generator after it is notifying changed immediately or recomputate and/or repaint the influenced part of timeline in a certain moment of waiting a moment.
Fig. 3 B is illustrated in the media object sequence another diagram of definite parameter value of dissimilar features in the different families.Particularly, Fig. 3 B shows the parameter value of the same individual type in same transition (T) the feature family." T " numeral (for example, " 3 " of T3) indication transition number in total transitional sequence afterwards.For example, T3, T4, T6, T12, T13, T15 and T17 belong to same family and same type (for example, family 1, Class1).Transition between these transition belongs to different family or different type or belongs to different families and dissimilar simultaneously.Thus, according to the definition of above-mentioned different parameters classification, each Interim (for example, T3, T4, T6, T12, T13, T15 or T17) has corresponding to the parameter value of feature with respect to the position of further feature.
